Good News!

Yesterday when I made the Kiva Loan to Doris Yolanda Blanco Huallpa, the amount gathered compared to the full loan needed was at 13% (the loan request was listed on Jan. 1st). Before I went to bed last night, I received the following note from Kiva.org:

"Dear Diana Troldahl, This is an update on your loan to Doris Yolanda Blanco Huallpa in Peru.Thanks to you and 37 other Kiva Lenders, the $1,050.00 loan requested byDORIS YOLANDA BLANCO HUALLPA in Peru has been 100% funded.

So 38 people covered that loan, in one day! It feels good to be a small part of something so powerful as changing a life.Details HERE
